Now for the demonstrations!
THE SNARE DRUM!
Use the aforementioned stick hold for snare drum sticks!
Hit the drum slightly off center!
Make sure to rebound!
Stay relaxed!
Learn your rudiments!
So you wanna play mallets?
Can you make a snare drum stick hold with your mallets?
Can you rebound off of the keys even though they aren't bouncy?
Can you hit the keys in the middle?
Can you alternate your sticks?
The four mallet technique...
Pick a stick hold... (we like Stevens)
Strike the keys together...
Roll the inside mallet to create different intervals...
Cymbals.
One cymbal is held mostly flat.
One cymbal moves from up to down.
Drop the cymbal down so there are two hits (very close together).
Swoop out.
Muffle on your chest.
Not seen here: suspended cymbal--use felt mallets--roll on opposite sides.
Bass Drum Goes BOOM
(Hit off Center/Muffle with Hand/Roll on Opposite Sides)
